A man has tonight been charged with the murder of a teenager stabbed to death in an apparently motiveless attack.

Kieran Crump Raiswell, described as "caring and quiet", died after he was knifed in the heart at a bus stop in broad daylight.

Imran Akhtar Hussain, 26, of Bracknell, Berkshire, is accused of the murder of 18-year-old in Manchester last Wednesday afternoon..

On a gap year before starting university, Kieran's family said the youngster "had his whole life ahead of him", and may have been intending to hand out his CV to shops and businesses when he was attacked in Whalley Range, south Manchester.

He was given first aid but his injuries proved too severe and he later died in hospital.

A post-mortem examination concluded he died from a stab wound to the chest.

Mr Crump Raiswell lived with his father, an interpreter, and mother, a council worker, along with a younger brother and sister in the Chorlton area.

He was due to go to Sheffield Hallam University in the autumn to study history.

In a statement, the family described him as a loving, caring, quiet and easy-going young man.

Hussain has also been charged with common assault in relation to an incident in Nottingham on January 4.

He is due to appear at Trafford Magistrates' Court tomorrow to face the charges.
